Slow having fun is an approach utilized to deceive your opponents right into thinking that you have a weak hand than you actually have. By at first playing a weak hand, you are reassuring to your opponents that they might have stronger hands. You are for that reason urging your challengers to bet into your winning hand. The end outcome is a bigger pot for you to win. The Thrill of Slow Playing Part of the excitement of playing poker is the possibility to develop a deception by slow playing a hand as well as taking a huge pot of chips from under your opponent’s nose. There is no higher contentment when playing online poker than defeating other gamers, by surprise and deceptiveness....

The issue of legalizing online poker in the US has been the source of several long standing debates. Several states in the US have been trying to legalize it in the hopes of generating bigger revenue. Washington D.C. recently became the first US State to pass a law allowing people to wager on online poker. This law was passed on the 7th of April 2011 without any objection from Congress. The bill has been titled the Lottery Modernization Act of 2010 and has made Columbia in Washington D.C the first US district and State to incorporate an online gaming law that allows internet gambling. The Lottery Modernization Act of 2010 passed with a few amendments that include a change in the definition...

Did you know that I’ve failed at SEO before? No, I’m not talking about when I first started my career. This was when I knew SEO like the back of my hand. I’m talking about when I was good enough to get sites ranked on page 1… that’s when I really failed at SEO. And boy was it was heartbreaking! Let’s just say this: I was able to rank a site on page 1 of Google for the term “online poker” and then my rankings tanked. Not because of a Google penalty but from something I never expected. But before I go into what I learned, let’s first go over how it all started… Online Poker Lowdown Back in 2010, I bought an old poker site that was never really updated. It was called Online Poker Lowdown....

One of the basic plays that expert No Limit Holdem poker players frequently make, is to “isolate” weak or readable players before the flop. This is done by making a raise in position after the weak player limps in. The goal is to force all of the other players out, and wind up alone in the pot with the weak player, with position and the initiative. This play is known as an isolation raise, or “iso-raise”. Depending on your skill level, you can make an iso-raise with a wide variety of hands — far weaker than your standard raising range. There are several reasons for this: First of all, your opponent is weak, and liable to have a poor starting hand himself....

If you have frequented a brick-and-mortar or online casino, the chances are that you have come across a game of poker in action before. Perhaps you have even played at home or against your friends in a fun (but definitely serious) game with cash or peanuts on the line. With that in mind, you might be wondering what in the world is Bitcoin poker? Well, the answer is a simple one – it’s the same as normal poker, except that you deposit your Bitcoin to play with rather than fiat money. See, we told you it was simple! More and more people are turning to Bitcoin as an everyday payment option, and the upshot of that is that a greater number of websites and even physical shops are...

While the Strip draws the vast majority of poker players in Las Vegas, there are several poker rooms off the Strip. One of our favorites is the Orleans, which we have visited multiple times. The Golden Nugget poker room provides another option right in the center of Downtown Vegas. Offering smaller, more intimate atmosphere than many poker rooms on the Strip, the Golden Nugget presents a nice respite from the wild action along Fremont Street. The Golden Nugget resides in Old Vegas, sited downtown between the famed Fremont Street and East Carson Avenue. It’s right across from Binion’s, the original home of the World Series of Poker. For those who have not been, Fremont Street is...

The first thing my mother asked when I told her that I've quit my job and plan to play poker for a living was, "That's gambling, right?" Since she is my mom, and trusts me, a simple "No, it's not. It is a skill game," was enough to put her mind at ease. But it takes a lot more than that to convince the skeptics. This post will try and explain that about poker. It will be a detailed breakdown of why I chose this profession, how the daily life of a poker player looks like and if this is something you should get into. We’ll also talk about money. There are three aims of this post: For non-players, to give an inside look into what it entails to play poker for a living. For amateurs thinking of...

I recently did a talk at the NYU Game Center cleverly entitled “What Makes Poker So Awesome?” (Old school 2p2per ilya wrote up a nice blog post about it here.) The talk was originally intended for game designers, but some poker players on my Twitter feed requested that I put a copy online for the poker community/whoever to check out. So, I did. It’s forty minutes of me talking about why poker is a game that’s interesting enough to study. If that sort of thing interests you, enjoy: In completely unrelated news, I’ve been meaning for a while now to create a video explaining basic statistics that’s geared towards poker players. The goal would be to explain...

Zach Donovan, WSOP Circuit Main Event Champion The 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek marked the property’s third time to host the global tour. The series ran February 7th through 18th and in that time 14 new gold ring champions were crowned and an entry into the season-ending Global Casino Championship was awarded. Zach Donovan earned his entry as the Main Event champion. Another GCC was set to be awarded to the Casino Champion but this series had a familiar face. Martin Ryan was his seat after earning Casino Champion titles during our September series and he did it again this time around once more after two runner-up finishes. Since he already owns a...
